MR. MURPHY'S RESOLUTION
PASSED.
WAS AGAINST MORE TARIFF WORK.
Twenty-Seven Go on Record ae In Favor
of ( enil iir From Labor to Hiiteen
AgnlnU -White on the Finance
Committee—Sherman Indulge*
In Some Plain Talk—Ite
vlewe the Tariff Work.
Washington, Aug. 20.— By the vote
of 27 to )6, without a word of debate,
the senate to-day adopted the Murphy
resolution declaring that it was the
sense of the senate that no further
tariff legislation should be considered
at this session and that it was advisa
ble to adjourn at the earliest possible
moment. The vote in detail was as
follows:
Yeas—Aldrich, Allen, Blanchard,
Caffery, Carey, Chandler, Cullom,
Davis, Dolplj, Gallinger, Gibson, Gor
man, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Munder
son, Mitchell of Oregon, Murphy,
Patton, Peffer, Pettigrew, I’latt,Pugh, <
Quay, ltoach, Shoup, Smith, Stewart.
Total 37.
Nays—Hate, Berry, Blackburn,Cock
rell, Coke, Faulkner, George, Harris,
Hunton, Jarvis, Lindsay, Ransom,
Turple, Vest, Vilas and White. To
tal 1>1.
This vote bears out the general ex
pression of the belief that despite
Senator Harris’ emphatic declarations,
made with much reddening of the
face and bristling of gray mustache,
that he would never consent to ad
journment until the senate should act
on the free raw materials bills of the
house, no one now here believes that
a single one of these measures will be
passed.
The vote on the Murphy resolution
was the more significant because
when Mr. Harris’ resolution for the
appointment of Mr. White of Cali
fornia to the vacancy on the finance
committee was laid before the senate
Mr. Mandcrson of Nebraska said that
there would be no objection to the
resolution to-day and explained that
the opposition yesterday contained no
reflection on the senator from Califor
nia, and Mr. Hill concurred with Mr.
Manderson and expressed the hops
that the resolution would be passed
and it was then adopted without divis
ion, and because it followed a warm
fight over the resolution of Mr. Gray
of Delaware, instructing the finance
committee to report back the free
sugar bill with an amendment to
strike out the one-eighth differential
on refined sugar and Mr. Manderson’s
amendment, instructing the com
mittee to report an amendment
providing for the sugar bounty of
the existing law. On the latter
some debate occurred on the parlia
mentary situation at the end of which
Vice President Stevenson held that
the vote should be first taken on Mr.
Manderson’s amendment to instruct
the committee to report back an
amendment to the free sugar bill pro
viding for the McKinley bounty on
raw domestic sugars. Great interest
was manifested in the result of the
roll call. The two Louisiana senators
and the three Populists voted in favor
of the Manderson amendment. The
Manderson amendment providing for
the McKinley bounty in the free sugar
bill was carried, 31 to 20, but the point
of no quorum was then raised and the
roll again called. The call developed
the presence of fifty-four senators,
eleven more than a quorum, and at
the request of Mr. Gorman the reso
lution was temporarily laid aside, Mr.
Aldrich stating that he thought a vot
ing quorum would appear in two
hours.
During the confusion which fol
lowed the announcement of the vote
on Mr. Murphy’s resolution Mr. Lind
say offered a resolution expressing it
to be the sense of the senate that con
gress should not adjourn until a bill
should have been passed relieving and
discontinuing any duty on refined su
gar which would operate for the ben
efit of the sugar trust. Mr. Mander
son moved to amend the resolution so
as to instruct the finance committee
to report back the amount of profit to
be derived by the whisky trust from
the tariff bill now in the hands of the
president.
Mr. bherman then took the floor to
indulge, as he said, in some "plain
talk.” He reviewed the blunders made
by the Democrats in the general con
duct of the long tariff fight The re
sult of these, he said, was that from
fifty to 100 very important errors
would be found in the bill as it would
be signed by the President. Already
several of great importance had been
discovered. One of them, that
providing for the free entry of
alcohol used in the arts, would, if un
corrccted, cost the government $20,
000,000 or $30,000,000 of revenue an
nually. Mi. lioar, the author of the
amendment, had not expected that it
would be accepted. He had simply
offered it as a tentative proposition.
He quoted from the record in support
of this statement.
Mr. Sherman deprecated the inter
ference of the president with con
gress but he justified Mr. Carlisle’s
letter as to the effect of the tariff bill
on the revenues. He stated that he
would, if opportunity offered, vote
for a straight duty on raw and refined
sugar without tiie differential. As
far as the other free list bills were
concerned, he was opposed to placing
iron ore, coal and barbed wire on the
free list.
Mr. Gray followed Mr. Sherman and
thought that no matter what the re
sult of the coming election might be
there would not be another McKinley
law. The people were tired of the
scenes of the past winter which re
sulted from the McKinley law.
The resolution went over.
Mr. Harris then called up the house
bill to repeal the tax on alcohol used
in the arts. He asked unanimous con
sent to consider it, but Mr. Chandler
objected and moved to refer it to the
finance committee. The motion was
lost, 14 to £5. no quorum voting. The
clerk then called the roll. This
showed only two more than a quorum
and, on Mr. Harris’ motion, the sen
ate went into executive session.

HARRISON ON LIVE TOPICS.
rh« Ex*President Discusses the Tariff
end Indiana and New York Polities.
New York, Aug. 20.—The Commer
cial-Advertiser to-day prints the fol
lowing interview with ex-President
Harrison at the house of Captain
liargnolt, at Spring Lake, N. J.
“My position is a peculiar one. It
is hard for people to understand how
I am situated. My lips are necessar
ily sealed so far as criticism of this
administration goes, it would be in
very bad taste or form to draw
comparisons between my own
and Mr. Cleveland’s administration,
it would be highly dis
courteous for me to state wherein I
believe this administration errs.
Therefore I have uniformly refused
to express my opinion, to draw any
comparisons, or to criticise and I shall
continue that policy.
“Shall you not have something to
suv about the new tariff bill?'1
“That is a different matter. That
measure is not fathered by the ad
ministration as I understand it and is
a legitimate matter for discussion.
Hut 1 am not yet ready. I do not
wish to speak hastily of a mat
ter that so intimately concerns
the welfare of the party and
country and goes to the very root of
the prosperity of the nation. Later I
shall prepare a careful analysis of the
situation and shull speak to the peo
ple during the Indiana campaign. I
shall speak two or three times, and
will let the people know my views on
the tariff question. Some things that
1 say may be worth printing.
“When will the campaign open in
Indiana?”
“Locally it opens very soon now.
Hut the great battle will not begin
until the fall is well advanced.”
“Do you confidently expect Repub
lican success there?”
“It would be premature to predict.”
“What do you think of the situation
in New York state?”
"I think the situation in New York
state demands that every man outside
the state keep his hands off, that is
what I think. Let outsiders keep
their hands off and attend to their
own business. I don’t see how any
thing that 1 or any other outsider can
say in the way of encouragement can
help restore harmony. All that I
know about the situation I read
in the papers and I know that the
harmony of which you speak has not
yet been secured, and that the two
wings of tha party still maintain sep
arate organizations and are as far
apart as ever. Suggestions, advice or
talk of any kind from outsiders would
be impertinent and ill-advised. Of
course the,result in New York this
fall will have a mighty influence upon
national affairs.”
SUNDAY PRACTICE ALLOWED.
Major William Worth Vindicated by the
Omaha Court Martial.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 20.—Major Wil
liam Worth, Second infantry, who
was ordered court martialed by Presi
dent Cleveland for ordering Private
Cedarquist to participate in target
practice on Sunday, was acquitted to
day and released from custody.
The findings of the court were that
the orders to Cedarquist were war
ranted by the exigencies of the occa
sion and that the proclamation of
President Lincoln was not in force at
present, not being part of the army
regulations.
Major Worth was in command of a
battalion of the Second infantry at
the liellevue rifle range and required
his men to engage in target practice
on Sunday. Private Cedarquist dis
obeyed the order, was courtmartialed,
convicted _ and sentenced to three
months’ imprisonment. The mat
ter was taken up by con
gress and President Cleveland com
muted the term of imprisonment and
ordered Major Worth courtmartialed
for disobeying the order of President
Lincoln issued November, 15, 1862,
prohibiting unnecessary work on Sun
day.
The exigencies of the case to which
the finding refers were the disturb
ances on the railroads and the com
monweal movements, which led many
army officers to believe that the troops
would shortly be called out.
In reviewing the finding of the
court General llrooke says the court
evidently based its findings on the
ground that President Lincoln's
order was not in force. He
then mildly criticises the board
for not eliminating in its find
ings all reference to the charges of
disobedience of orders and for failing
to convict Major Worth on “the re
maining alllegations and of conduct
to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline. ”

A DETROIT BUILDER
HE TELLS A REMARKABLE
STORY OP HIS LIFE.
CAME TO DETROIT ABOUT FORTY
TEARS AGO.
Levi Eliry'i Experience Worthy Serious
Attention.
From the Detroit Evening News.
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from
the din and turmoil of the business cen
tre, there are many attractive homes.
The intersecting' streets are wide, clean
and shaded by large leaf-covered trees,
and the people you meet are typical
of industry, economy and honest toil.
There are many pretty residences, but
none more inviting in its neatness
and home-like comfort than that of
Mr. Levi Elsey, the well-known builder
and contractor, at 74 Moran street just
off Gratiot Mr. Elsey is an old resi
dent of Detroit, having moved here
about forty years ago. Me has erected
hundreds of houses in different parts of
the city, and points with pride to such
buildings as the Newberry & McMullan
and Cainpaw blocks in which he dis
played his ability as a superintendent.
“I have seen Detroit grow from a
village to a city,” he observed yester
day in conversation with the writer,
“and I don't think there are many towns
in America to-day equal to it in point of
beauty. I know-almost everybody in
the city, and an incident which re
cently happened in my life has inter
ested all my friends.
“It is now about eightyears ago since
I was stricken down with my first case
of illness. One cold, blustering day I
Was down town and through my nat
ural carelessness at that time 1 per
mitted myself to get chilled right
through. When I arrived home that
evening I felt a serious pain in my left
leg. I bathed it that night, but by
morning I found it had grown worse.
In fact it was so serious that 1 sent for
my family physician, and he informed
me that 1 was suffering from varicose
veins. My leg swelled up to double its
natural size and the pain increased in
volume. The agony was simply awfuL
I was laid up and never left my bed for
eight weeks. At times I felt as though
I would grow frantic with pain. My
leg was bandaged and was propped up
in. the bed at an angle of 30 degrees in
order to keep the blood from flowing to
my extremeties.
"I had several doctors attending me,
but I believe my own judgment helped
me better than theirs. After a seige of
two months I could move around, still
1 was on the sick list and hud to doctor
myself for years. I was never really
cured and suffered any amount of an
guish.
“About two years ago I noticed an
article in the Evening News about my
friend, Mr. Northrup, the Woodward
Avenue merchant; In an interview
with him he stated that he had used
V>r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple and that they cured him. 1 knew
him very well, having built his house
out Woodward Avc., and I thought I
would follow his suggestion. 1 must
confess I did so with marvelous success.
From the time I began to take the Pink
Pills I felt myself growing to be a new
man. They acted on me like a magical
stimulant The pain departed and I
soon was as strong and healthy as
ever. Before trying the Pink Pills I
had used any amount of other medi
cine without any noticeable benefit
But the Pills cured me and I was my
self again.
“When a person finds himself re
lieved and enjoying health he is apt to
expose himself again to another attack
of illness. Some three months ago I
stopped taking the Pink Pills, and from
the day I did so, I noticed a change in
my condition. A short time since I
renewed my habit of taking them with
the same beneficial results which met
me formerly. I am again nearly as
strong as ever, although I am a man
about 56 years of age. 1 tell you, sir,
the Pink Pills are a most wonderful
medicine and if they do as well in other
cases, as they did in mine they are the
best in the world. I freely recommend
them to any sufferer.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give nwe life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache,. the after effect of la grippe, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness
either in male or female. Pink Pills
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents
a box, or six boxes for #2.50—they are
never sold in bulk or by the 100) by ad
dressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co..

Captain Joe Waters says in a letter
declining to engage in a debate with
the Populist Women’s club of Topeka:
“No power on earth is strong enough
to compel me to dispute with a woman.
If any of them desire to fight me, I at
once display a flag of truce and uncon
ditionally surrender. As a lawyer I
carry this further. Under no stress
no compulsion, no apparently mag
nificent opportunity for me to air my
art, will I ever cross examine a woman
who is a witness against me, and in
this I think I have a wisdom beyond

THE FREE LIST BILLS.
Mr. vest Defends the Action of tho g«Q.
nto In It* Tariff Coarse.
Washington, Aug. 10.— In the sen
ate to-day Mr. Harris asked for the
second reading of the house revenue
bills. No one objecting, the bills to
place coal, iron ore and barbed wire
on the free list were read. Mr. Har.
ris then had read a letter from Secre
tary Carlisle concerning the effect o'
the proposed bills upon the revenue
of the government This declared in
brief that the present tariff bill would
produce a surplus of 915,000,000, but
the house bills would cause a deficit
of 929,000,000.
- Mr. Berry called up the free sugar
bill. Mr. Harris, while favoring free
sugar, thought this and the other
bills should be referred to the finance
committee. The senate could not ad
journ without providing for ths
threatened deficiency of 928,000,000 or
930,000,000 which might result front
the passage of this bill.
Mr. Berry insisted that the senate
should decide the matter and not
bnry it in committee. He said the
senate had been charged with being
a friend of the sugar trnst. He
wanted the bill passed exactly as it
came from the house.
Mr. Harris said an early report
would be made by the committee.
After conference reports on appro
priation bills had been presented, Mr.
Vest, referring to Mr. Harris’ motion
to refer the free sugar and other hills
to the finance committee, said that it
meant the death of the bills, as the
committee was now politically a tie
with the prospect of the disappear
ance of a quorum within the next few
days. He declared the position of the
senate on the tariff had been vindi
cated by the letter of Secretary Car
lisle which proved conclusively that if
the house bill bad been enacted it
would have caused a deficiency of 830,
000,000. He showed that the power
acquired by the sugar trust was the
result of its fosterings by the McKin
ley bill.
Mr. Vest proceeded with his de
scription of the difficulties in connec
tion with the adjustment of the sugar
schedule. Under the Wilson bill as
reported to the house from the com
mittee there were a duty and bounty.
When it was in the house free sugar
was inserted. The finance committee
prepared a bill which gave no differ
entials in favor of the trust. “And
yet,” said he with bitterness, “they
call us creatures'of the sugar trust.
Liars, slanderers, infamous libellers.”
Mr. Vest said he would not enter
into the charges that the senate was
a party to the fight- between the
president and the senator from Mary
land (Gorman). He (Vest) had his
strong differences with that senator
on the tariff and he had written a
letter long ago to the Greystone club
stating his objections to the policy of
Mr. Gorman and supporting Mr.
Cleveland for his position on revenue
reform. “But," continued he, “I be
long to no man. I belong to no fac
tion. I am neither Montague nor
Capulet, York nor Lancaster. I can
never follow one who does violence to
the principles of the Democratic
party. ”
Mr. Mills followed Mr. Vest, claim
ing that the senate bill did not reflect
the sentiments of 1,000 people in the
United States. No Republican wanted
it, no Democrat wanted it and no
Populist wanted it. The great mass
of the people condemned it.
Mr. Mills was followed by Mr. Vilas
of Wisconsin.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas, who had ta
ken the lead so far as the senate was
concerned in the recent tariff confer
ence, offered an amendment to the
free sugar bill imposing a fiat 30 per
cent duty on all sugars, raw and re
fined.
